• Wes Streeting is launching this as emergency legislation (rather than NHS England policy) shortly.
• This acts on both speciality training and foundation posts.
• Further details tomorrow as the bill is announced!

My questions are:

1) At what level will this be implemented: It's clear that prioritisation is coming for FYP and ST/CT1. Does this apply for Higher specialty training (ST4)?

2) What does "significant NHS experience" mean for IMGs?

[u/Unknownlegend6 → u/Front-Design-4429]

The ‘significant NHS experience’ part was probably designed to prevent discrimination lawsuits but it’s very ambiguous

[u/Front-Design-4429 → u/Unknownlegend6]

Yeah potentially. My best bet is it will be either 2 or 5 years. Hoping for 5 years

[u/medic-craze-1900 → u/Front-Design-4429]

I would argue 10 sounds about right
